DukeAngus Posted January 30, 2023 Posted January 30, 2023 in the control menu for the f-16 there are keybinds for the transmit switch, which has the uhf and vhf VoIP, radio menu keybinds. there also two more that i dont have a clue what they do the iff in and iff out keybinds?

I believe the IFF in and out switches are not simulated in DCS because what they actually do is classified.

Isn't the IFF on the throttle reminiscent of another block? Afaik it's done with the TMS left long/short. Or are you referring to something else? 1
Tholozor Posted January 30, 2023 Posted January 30, 2023 (edited) I believe he's referring to the Transmit Switch, which has IFF OUT and IFF IN positions for FCR datalink filtering and steerpoint sharing functions (which are implemented).

void68 Posted March 9, 2023 Posted March 9, 2023 (edited) Check for the "DATA" text on your HUD once your teammates have sent you some interesting information and look for the "+" or "x" sign on your HSD. Verify your XMT button (right upper button #6 or #7 I guess of the HSD page) is set to L16 or something and not "OFF". I don't recall the exact terms, I am not in my F16 ATM.

darkman222 Posted March 9, 2023 Posted March 9, 2023 I am confused. Can someone sum up what functions we currently have, besides the radio transmit functions? IFF in(board) sends steerpoint data to my flight. Thats worked already fine for me.
SickSidewinder9 Posted March 9, 2023 Posted March 9, 2023 It can only be a steerpoint that's sent, not the SPI? I thought it sent the SPI.

If one of your sensors like the ground radar or the TGP is SOI, you will send your current SPI. These functions are currently implemented in DCS. In the future once we've receive IDM support, IFF Outboard Long will trigger IDM rounds, while IFF Inboard Long will transmit data over either IDM or LINK 16 depending on which network the XMT label is set to on the HSD. 1 2 -Col.
